NEXT ELECTION = THIS ELECTION
Exaltation of the ruthless *
Trump is anything but toothless
Sharpening his incisor fangs
Planning for his next big harangue
Dehumanized adversaries
Citizens should now be wary
Violence incitement with his spew
Vermin eradicated … YOU
Wanna-be ruler, dictator
Swamp-like creature, alligator
With cruelty, targets his planned kill
Not by his hand, but done with skill
First term was his tutorial
Next term would be historical
He’d end our great democracy
Emboldened, doing as he pleased
He’s wound-up, quite cantankerous
His deeds, reactions … dangerous
Words of Trump’s … toxic emissions
MAGA chaos with munitions
He’d use the military arms
Against our people, causing harm
Start war against the drug cartels
In Mexico, we’d “fight like hell”
Erect some huge detention camps
Against “the other” rave and rant
Kidnap the children … separate
Imprison them with no escape
Vengeance against adversaries
Perceived enemies ... so scary
Judiciary as his tool
He’d rule and rule and rule and rule …
Take away freedoms, protections
Cancel all future elections
Become the richest man on earth
Gazillionaire, he’d fake his worth
Beginning of the horror, end
Upon the laws we’d not depend
World turned upside down … in shambles
America shamed by scandals
Enough of Trump … enough, enough
He needs to be held by the scruff
Stand trial for ALL criminal deeds
Trump’s goal … our freedoms to impede

Why a Second Trump Presidency May Be More Radical Than His First.
Donald Trump has long exhibited authoritarian impulses, but his policy operation is now more sophisticated, and the buffers to check him are weaker.
